This will be your new MAC address.Ĭlick OK to save and close the dialog box. Select the radio button and type the new alphanumeric value without the dashes or full colon (For example, BE81A90117AB). Under Properties, go to the Advanced tab and select Network Address. Select your wireless adapter, right-click and go to Properties. In Device Manager, go to Network adapters.
Press Windows + X and select Device Manager. That physical address is your MAC address. It will list your IPv4 Address and physical address for your ethernet and Wi-Fi. To find your MAC address, open Command Prompt and enter the command: ipconfig /all Your new MAC address will only be given preference when there is no other MAC address. Note: This method will not change your actual hardware MAC address. It is your network address for ethernet and Wi-Fi.Ī MAC address will look something like this: GL-84-M3-22-55-HA It is a string of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, a to f, or A to F) separated by a colon or dashes. This is a huge wall for us OS deployers in triage (Help Desk) because it significantly complicates OS deployment and reimaging.A media access control (MAC) address is a unique address given to your network interface controller (NIC) for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. But, for those computers that already have the client installed locally, my manual records are ignored and deviceĭiscovery and auto-creation takes place. In situations like this, I typically delete all existing records with that name, then create a new device with the specified MAC address. I only care about records with MAC addresses everything else is irrelevant.
The reason I would want to delete record #2 is because it has no MAC address. If I deleted record #2, and the device reboots / user logs into it, discovery will happen again and recreate this exact same record, completely ignoring Device record #1. N o MAC address, because discovery (for whatever reason I do not manage the discovery params and settings) did not pick it up. I s installed (both in the device record, and literally). This record has an associated MAC address because I manually entered it in.ĭevice record #2 - This record is auto-created through (probably, but unknown to me) device discovery on our network. Installed (it actually is on the machine right now). In the device list, there are duplicate device names.ĭevice record #1 - I created this record manually. To have the MAC address on the SCCM device record to do this. Please note that it isĪbsolutely necessar y (at least in my environment) I am trying to deploy an OS through SCCM via PXE. I can, however, check current settings if info is needed.
